As the Wests Tigers announce a multimillion-dollar sponsorship, the club answers difficult questions from another dramatic start to summer.
On Thursday, the Tigers pulled out all the stops, their entire playing squad, staff marshalling proceedings wearing headsets and a slew of 2005 premiership-winners to announce the biggest sponsorship in club history.
At times Marshall was terse, at others expansive, while Richardson was bullishly positive throughout. “I’ve had honest discussions and in-house discussions around where John’s future is,” Marshall said. “Those discussions will remain private but the things that have been reported are not true.” “We honour every contract at the club, so if John wants to be here for the next two years, then he’ll be here for the next two years. That’s a decision between him and his manager.”Marshall, his players and coaching staff all trooped into Thursday’s sponsorship announcement fresh from the training paddock, assistant coach John Morris wearing his boots throughout the event.
The club’s response put the players on notice, with newly signed prop Royce Hunt returning to training three weeks early to ensure he hits the standards expected of him.
